Torre dei Becci, Medieval tower house in San Gimignano, Italy.
Torre dei Becci stands near Arco dei Becci on Via San Giovanni, featuring characteristic red brick construction and multiple interior levels.
The Becci family constructed this residential tower during the 13th century when San Gimignano experienced significant growth as a stop on Via Francigena.
The tower represents a period when wealthy families in San Gimignano built tall structures to demonstrate their economic and political power within the community.
Visitors can observe the tower's exterior architecture while walking along Via San Giovanni, one of the main streets of San Gimignano's historic center.
The structure belongs to a group of only 14 remaining towers from the original 72 that once defined San Gimignano's medieval skyline.
